My kids are really into a couple online games. The games are geared towards mixed levels of instant gratification and longer gratification, creating and maintaining an online character/persona, getting approval from peers as you climb the hierarchy of loot (character skins, rare items, etc.) We limit their time and they are in other activities like sports which take time to develop skills. Just be careful because some video games hire psychologists to help engineer a game to hit those neural pathways at the right intervals to get players to keep wanting to come back. Getting really into video games can involve helping build a PC or maybe letting them create their own games.
